The windshield wiper/washer system consists of the following components:

The wiper/washer system operates in the following modes:

When the wiper switch is turned OFF, the wiper motor returns the wipers to the park position.

Voltage is applied to the accessory voltage circuit when the ignition is in the ACCY or ON position.

The wiper motor is equipped with radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression.

In the WASH mode, voltage is applied to the following circuits:

The windshield washer pump sprays washer solvent onto the windshield. The windshield wipers operate at low or high speed for 3-5 wipes and return to the park position. If the wipers are in DELAY, LO, or HI mode, they return to that operation after the wash cycle.

In the MIST mode, voltage is applied to the following circuits:

The wipers make one sweep at low speed and return to the park position. If the wiper switch is held in MIST mode, the wipers will continue to operate until the switch is released.

In the DELAY mode, voltage is applied to the following circuits:

The wipers make single sweeps with a time interval between sweeps. The time interval is controlled by the wiper motor cover, based on the voltage sent through the variable resistor in the wiper/washer switch.

In the LO mode, voltage is applied to the following circuits:

The wiper motor runs continuously at low-speed.

In the HI mode, voltage is applied to the following circuits:

The wiper motor runs continuously at high-speed.

When turned OFF from any position, the wipers complete the last sweep and park. When the wiper switch is turned OFF, battery voltage continues to be applied to the accessory voltage circuit. The wiper motor continues to run until the internal motor park switch opens.
